Can I restrict which users can log on to a Windows XP workstation? We using roaming profiles and users can log on anywhere. However, we have a workstation that we don't want anyone but one user to be able to access?

You can use a local security policy on the computer to restrict logon interactively to the user/group you specify.

You could also create a GPO and apply it only to the computer that you want to restrict it to, but unless you can see this restriction expanding in scope that seems a bit wasteful, but it might be easier to track long term.
